The woman hears the doctors discussing how to go about this... The barbs would injure her even more if they were simply pulled out, but they had to act fast... A small medical distrupter is wheeled in...

The doctors begin to vaporise the bolts and the disk, as they faded away, blood gushed out... They put pressure on the wounds and pinched the nerves stopping the blood flow, they begin the real surgery...

After the surgery, the woman passed in and out of conscioussness, she muttered inconherent words, Lillith stayed in the medical bay, a pistol at her side, just incase... She saw a second medical bed, a white cloth drapped over a body...

The warrior begins to saturate the child, in the power of the orb...

The Tempest hovered overhead, and teleported Chronus aboard..

On the command deck, the command droid greeted him. "we have managed to repair the Tempest Cannon, Guardian. It is preparing to fire as we speak.

Chronus thought for a while and said. "no more bloodshed.. no more.."

The droid turned and replied "you do not have a choice, Guardian. They will be destroyed, as our master created us to do, more than 300 years before."

Chronus yelled "No! stop this treason! I have given your order.."
The droid cut him short. "sir, you are no longer sounding like an AI. Perhaps you need to have you're system restarted.. ah, the cannon is ready, sir."

"don't touch that lever.." said Chronus, getting to his feet.
The droid pulled the lever forward.

The Tempest Cannon began to activate..

Chronus jumped forward, smashing the droid to pieces. He landed in the command chair and began to override the system.

The droids in the room turned, to stop him. with one hand, he continued typing, and with the other, he used the droid's remains as a club, keeping the others away..

on the computer..

Decharging cannon.. please wait..

WARNING: this device is about to fire. Stopping it will cause a massive energy feedback!

enter Authorization code: CHRONUS940.

auth code accepted. cannon shutting down.


Chronus stood, and watched, as the light coming from the ship's massive engines, each the size of a small planet, began to grow brighter and brighter.

a siren flared "WARNING! CANNON IS OVERLOADING! 5 MINUTES TO REACH MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE OF 4,204.4502,120 LIGHTYEARS!!!"

Chronus sealed the command station, and then, as he ordered the ship onto one last flight into deep space, he opened the comm link to the nearby ships, and said. "Vaya condios, warriors."

The Tempest hurled into subspace.

Blake jumped into the ship after Pat, Lillith and Martin, sitting down at a nearby seat. "You weren't going to leave me here were you."
